Hi all. Can anyone point me in the direction to make these drop free? I have 5 Marlin stainless mags and none drop free. Thank you.

They hang down enough to grab and drop.  Practice doing it with the next mag in your hand to shove in.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

You can also Polish the inside if the mag well.  They come from the factory really rough. That sometimes allows them to drop free.

If you go the polish route, be sure to check your spring tension on the mag holder spring.  it is easy to over do or to bend the spring. It can screw up holding the mags in.

There is a good discussion on this posted by D.O.M on 8/31/16 in the Rifle Knowledge Bank entitled "Marlin 795 Magazines Drop-Free notes".  Here's the link:
